The giant bug in Starship Troopers gives me Basaran vibes and Rico's fight with it makes me think of Wander on the back of Celosia.

"THE HISTORIANS CAN'T SEEM TO SETTLE WHETEHR TO CALL THIS ONE "THE THIRD SPACE WAR (OR THE "FOURTH")..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the 1987 reprint edition of the controversial military/sci-fi bestselling novel "Starship Troopers" (1959), written by Robert A. Heinlein. Published by Ace Books, from my private collection. Artwork by William Staehle.

"The historians can't seem to settle whether to call this one "The Third Space War" (or the "Fourth"), or whether "The First Interstellar War" fits it better. We just call it "The Bug War" if we call it anything, which we usually don't and in any case the historians date the beginning of "war" after the time I joined my first outfit and ship. Everything up to then and still later were "incidents," "patrols," or "police actions." However, you are just as dead if you buy the farm in an "incident" as you are if you buy it in a declared war."

-- JUAN "Johnnie" RICO, "Starship Troopers," page 131; internal monologue on the start of the Bug War, written by Robert A. Heinlein

Starship Troopers, directed by Paul Verhoeven

Klendathu Drop, original soundtrack composed by Basil Poledouris

[roosterarts]

"The drop was a shambles from the start. Fifty ships were in our piece of it and they were supposed to come out of Cherenkov drive and into reaction drive so perfectly coordinated that they could hit orbit and drop us, in formation and where we were supposed to hit, without even making one planet circuit to dress up their own formation. I supposed this is difficult. Shucks. I know it is. But when it slips, it leaves the M.I. holding the sack.

We were lucky at that, because the Valley Forge and every Navy file in her bought it before we ever hit the ground. In that tight, fast formation (4.7 miles/sec. orbital speed is not a stroll) she collided with the Ypres and both ships were destroyed."

Basil Poledouris – Klendathu Drop

[wraith-of-thiodolf]

And with a name like Basil Poledouris, it's no wonder he was a conductor/composer. I like the name

its certainly a name of all time

probably wouldnt stand out in his parents home of greece though. be like jim thomson over there

[but-a-humble-goon]

This twitter discourse has got me talking about Starship Troopers again at least. Probably one of the most on point bits of satire in the whole movie is that the Federation pick a fight with the Bugs completely unprepared and swagger into Klendathu expecting a quick and easy victory before getting slaughtered entirely because they don't bother to actually understand their enemy and just assume the Bugs are only dumb animals. They just assume humans must be the only intelligent life in the galaxy. Turns out societies founded on a dogmatic faith in their own innate mythological exceptionalism are fucking stupid.
